🗒️ Conversation Summary: The conversation revolves around proposals to normalize the block generation rate in Bitcoin. One proposal suggests that every node generates the most difficult block it can without a target difficulty, while another proposes a fixed ten-minute rate for block rewards. Concerns are raised about cheating and network splits, but the conversation also explores potential solutions such as creating a "hardest chain" and using an upper bound on difficulty. The importance of a deterministic way to determine block acceptance is emphasized.
